Day three in Hong Kong was an educational experience all around. We spent the morning at the Hong Kong History Museum which has some great displays chronicling the natural and human history of Hong Kong from its volcanic origins to the present day. We learned a lot about Hong Kong's prehistory, the native people, the dynasties, opium wars, colonial period, Japanese occupation, and modern times including the handover from Britain to China in 1997. There were some elaborate and interactive displays that we all really enjoyed.
In the afternoon, we went to the Hong Kong Wetlands Park which is a nature preserve in the "New Territories" adjacent to an area of intense development. We saw lots of birds, dragonflys, butterflys, pre-frog tadpoles, and fiddler crabs.
